4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the strobe from its packaging. Inspect the device for any signs of damage. If damage is found, do not install and contact your supplier.
4.2 Mounting Location
Select a suitable wall-mounted location that meets local code requirements for visibility and environmental conditions. The NEMA 4X and IP56 ratings indicate suitability for outdoor use, protecting against dust, water jets, and corrosion.
4.3 Wiring
- Ensure power to the Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) is disconnected.
- Connect the device to the NAC wiring according to the wiring diagram provided with your fire alarm control panel or system documentation.
- Observe proper polarity. Incorrect wiring can prevent the device from functioning.
- Secure all wire connections firmly.
Refer to the specific installation instructions included with the product packaging for detailed wiring diagrams and mounting procedures.

5. Operating Instructions
The System Sensor SGWKLED-P LED Strobe operates as a visual notification appliance within a fire alarm or emergency signaling system. Once properly installed and connected to a compatible Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC), the strobe will activate upon receiving a signal from the fire alarm control panel.
- Activation: The strobe will flash when the connected NAC provides the appropriate power and signal.
- Deactivation: The strobe will cease flashing when the alarm condition is cleared and the NAC signal is removed by the control panel.
- Synchronization: If connected to a synchronized NAC, multiple strobes will flash in unison.
No user interaction is required for the operation of the strobe itself once installed. Its function is entirely dependent on the connected fire alarm system.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the reliable operation of the SGWKLED-P strobe. All maintenance procedures should be performed by qualified personnel.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the strobe for any physical damage, dirt, or obstructions that might impair its visibility.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Functional Testing: Test the strobe's operation regularly as part of the overall fire alarm system testing protocol, in accordance with NFPA 72 and local codes.
- Wiring Check: Annually, or as required by local codes, inspect wiring connections for tightness and corrosion.
Refer to your fire alarm system's documentation for specific testing schedules and procedures.
